'Hall of Fame' Sparks Controversy: Germany Launches Valhalla of Sporting Legends - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

Critics say some athletes on the list were members of the Nazi party. But the organizers insist that the Hall of Fame reflect the ravages of German history.

Cyclist Gustav Kilian, athlete Rudolf Harbig, former German Olympic President Willi Daume and the founder of the German Sport Aid Foundation, Josef Neckermann, as well as Sepp Herbeger, coach of the 1954 World Cup winning soccer team, "the Wonders of Bern," all had connections to the Third Reich during World War II.
